APG-68 V9 radar

[Anas Ali]

hi guys
i had the manual for the APG-68 V5 radar for some time now and the max range specs are
TWS Range /track while scan : 296.32 km/ 160 nm
RWS / range while search : 296.32 km/ 160 nm
VS Scan / velocity search : 148 km / 80 nm
STT / single target track : as required
An Apg 68 V5 Operations Guide PDF And Ebook Files - DocsFiles


so in the northrop grumman official website it says that the APG-68 V9 has 33% more detection range better than the previous versions
AN/APG-68(V)9 Multimode Fire Control Radar

so that means that the max range detection for the APG-68 V9 is
TWS Range /track while scan : 394.1 km/ 213 nm
RWS / range while search : 394.1 km/ 213 nm
VS Scan / velocity search : 196.84 km / 106.4 nm

can this info considered to be solid !

any opinion would be appreciated

 

[Anas Ali]

this is not official its just speculation
For RCS 5.0 m2 class target: 66~80 km+

APG-68 V5- range 70-80 km vs 5m^2
APG-69 V9- range 90-105 km vs5m^2

so that means that the max range detection for the APG-68 V9 is
TWS Range /track while scan : 394.1 km/ 213 nm
RWS / range while search : 394.1 km/ 213 nm
VS Scan / velocity search : 196.84 km / 106.4 nm

V-5 is around 105 miles against 5m2 RCS (and thus complementing AMRAAM's C5's). V-9 is around 140 miles. But do realize it CAN and HAS picked up targets (basic identification) at 155 miles or so. So there will be variations (about 10-20% plus minus) when flying over a mountainous region vs. a flat surface vs. the sea level.

quiet accurate, its also quoted in F-16.net
thanks

those who say its 80km..even klj-9 outsamrts that at 105-130 km for 5m2

this is total nonsense.............comeon

whats the peak power of this radar??

there is no source for the range u are saying

is that detection range or tracking range??

care to explain its peak power ,average power,gain,antenna diameter??

jf-17 has klj-7 not 9

 

[ziaulislam]

THANKS FOR POINTING OUT ITS KLJ-7

for source visit f-16.net
for JF-17 visit the info thread

It's nonsense because you don't like the answer? If that's the case, you didn't have to waste a post and my time that I just wasted reading and responding to this post. If you wanted facts, I gave'em to you. Ask someone who's flown in an -16 with a V-9

Where did U get ur info if u plz,coz most posts in f-16 net say 70-90 km for v5 and 90-110 for v9.

APG-68 V5 - 110-120 km vs 5m/s

APG-68 v9 - 130-150km vs 5m/s

Kanwa quoted PAF official who mentioned KLJ-7 is 130km vs 5m/s

KLJ-7's range was stated in recent IDEAS exibition,and that was based on PAF's experiments with the radar in a very recent military exercise/war games....
Cant remember the name,but i think it was 'Azm e nau'.

Yeah man,but where are u getting this info? coz most forumers on f-16 net give lower values.I'm not saying ur wrong,just want to know source.
